You make the statement that there is an "Air Force officer in charge of the ground war." You must know something that I don't - just who is this Air Force officer that you are talking about?

Good morning.

I was outraged when Shinseki turned the good Ranger black beret into an everyman hat. As is often the case, the move backfired and the Rangers got something better in the tan beret.

Shinseki went along with bill clinton's emasculation of the military. He and the other clintonista generals hate the current administration.

"any of you ever serve in the army?"

That's a silly question.

Shouldn't the 'A' in Army be capitalized? A Marine correctly pointed that out to me in another thread about the Marine Corps.

I probably should have written aviator instead as Rumsfeld was a Naval aviator, not Air Force. Please check the date on the article and discussion. My point was that not enough credence was given to long-term ground operations beyond the initial war. Mr. Rumsfeld recently admitted to this as well.
